Well the Olympics are done. Safe to say Rio did a fantastic job with this version of the Summer Games?

Sweet bumper sticker on that Ferrari.
Japan made a splash in the medal count as well as a splashy appearance in the closing ceremonies, the prime minister making his statement disguised as perhaps the most famous modern Japanese cultural export.

あまり他のお店で見たこともないこの珍しいサムライペンがとても
(Made in?) Japan + Pen = ジャペン (JAPEN)
Stick that in your homework and pipe it. Or something like that.
The manufacturers of this particular trinket decided to top things off with a (not so subtle?) DAJARE.
